Clif GallagherBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSummerStructureRip RapWater is dropping rapidly. The bass have moved out and are aware of the levels. Suggest caution with navigation as the lake drops but the fish will smash a crankbait fished parallel along the rock banks and a football jig along the sandstone walls. These bass are much bigger and healthier than your average Sand Hollow catch so fish clean, keep your line and knots free of nicks. Tight lines!

Crankbaits are working good off the ledges. Plus, the shaky head is a good choice too. Early morning, and late evening produces the best results at the moment.

Bass are starting to hit topwater moving into the post spawn. Water Temperatures around 68 - 70 degrees. Sitting up shallow behind the tamarack bushes seem to be holding the most fish. Also, flipping is a good option water seems to have stained from the large amount of run off from the mountain.

The water level is extremely low. The bass have been congregated on rock piles, ledges, and grass flats. Texas rigged curly tail worms and bladed jigs have been extremely effective the last several weeks.

Fish are moving out of wintering holes and starting to move to points adjacent to deep water. Start shallow and move deep until you find them. Found fish on lipless crankbaits and ned rigs.
